oldfa_t Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi everyone! Retired from almost every aspect of the automotive industry and now in a retirement apartment (read small) wondering where the years went. Planning on scrolling since my entire woodshop is just a memory now. Never had a scroll saw before and now I'm going to have a small one mounted to a wooden TV stand that can be folded if necessary. Because of the severe space confinement, I'm thinking about the 87776 MicroLux Mini Scroll Saw. I know I'll have problems along the way but. I've got time to solve them along with all the knowledge on this site. Looking forward to the experience and new friendships. heppnerguy, Be_O_Be, Ken Lotts and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Welcome to The Village from Southern Arizona. I started scrolling about the time I retired and it has been a source of enjoyment for me every since. I hope you can find it to your liking as much as I have. Lot for free patterns here to download and cut. We are all here to help one another and share our efforts with others as well. Lots of tutorials on scrolling on youtube.com as well.
